Frequently Asked Questions

What are the advantages of a debit card over a credit card?

When you use a debit card, you aren’t borrowing money; the merchant connects directly to your bank and reduces the payment from your account. A debit card also has nearly all the same functions of a credit card, as you can use it to purchase items online, reserve bookings, pay for bills online, and even rent cars. Your bank account is also directly linked to the debit card, so all transactions go through your bank account. Also, unlike a credit card, a debit card allows you to withdraw money through an ATM.

Can you apply for a debit card online?

You can apply online or in person; but first, you need to open an account with your selected bank. Some banks may require you to apply in person for verification purposes, however this depends on your bank’s preferences. Requirements are generally the same when submitting an application in person; you’ll need some basic requirements such as a valid driver’s license or passport and your IRD number.

How long does it take to get the debit card?

After your application is approved, it takes anywhere from 5 to 10 business days to get your card. If you don’t get your debit card in 5 to 10 business days after your application, best to get in touch with your bank.

What types of debit cards are there in NZ?

Visa debit card: A visa debit card works like cash, but better. They are accepted worldwide, and offer quick, convenient and secure access to your money in person, online, over the phone or overseas. You can also use your Visa debit card to withdraw money from an ATM.

Mastercard debit card: Mastercard and Visa debit cards function nearly the same. Mastercard debit cards are also accepted internationally, with some merchants accommodating only either of the two. A Mastercard debit card is great if you’re a regular traveller, as it has a slightly lower exchange rate.
